Capt. THoMPSoN dOeS HOt think them English Vessels, although the Ship that chased him skewed Engli4l colours. The Fleet 'which sailed from Cork on the 2gth of February, were all well on the 15th of March, laying too on the S.W. side of Madeira, 65 Sail in company. _ By the accounts of two Vessels which have just arrived from St. Domingo, it appears that Captain GOODALL, a native of this Country, had xisited that Island with a Privateer called the Young Roscius. This Ship he hel sold to CmusToPHE, who hbd in duced him to enter i n t o t h e naval service of the Em, pire of Hayti, under the title of " High Admiral of the Haytian Fleet." Captain GOODALL'S. First Of. ficer, Mr. JOHN M'Cur.t.ocx, was appointed Rear. Admiral, and they were both ordered to attack a Port near Cape Nicola Mole, galled Jean Rebel, which was in the possession of CnatsroruE'a great competitor for Imperial sway, PETION. Captain GOODALL and his coadjutor went to the attack with the Young Roscius and two Schooner's, and they fodnd two Schooners belonging to Perloti lying at anchor under the Fort.—One of these Schooners the High Admiral's little Squadron blew up 'with the first broadside, but while he was preparing to attack the other, a musket ball ,killed Mr, McCau.ocu, and Captain GOODALL then desisted from the enterprize. The Rear-Admiral vas buried with 'a magnificence suitable to his rank, and with all the honours of war, at Cape Francois.—Thefollowing is an exteaOt, of a letter from Port Royal, dated February 7,1808, relative to this extraordinary appointment and expe dition ‘VhenolF lean Rebel, near Cape Nichols Male, we met the Young Roseins and two Schooners 'going to engage the F.ort at lean Rebel ; soon after, she began to fire, and a Schooner that was at anchor was blown up, close along4de the Young Roscius. ' She must have sufiited much in, her sails and rigging, and trorn her appearance she must have lost many of her crew. They all appeared lid' of blaelt lows," Another account states, that Captain GOODALL not only captured the first Fort, but made a sqccess ful attack on adother... We do not think proper to offer any comments on this singular transa6tioa, as it will"dpubtless be the'subjeet of inquiry in another quarter. Capt. Goor u.i, we believe, is the hus. band of a .respe6able Actress of that naro, who some years ago belonged to Drury lane Theatre.-- He is well known to be a very spirited, skilful, and experienced Naval Officer.

SuRCOUFP having plundered these ships, and being unable to, spare hands to navigate them, in come quen of the number of prizes that he had already Made and dispatched to the French Islands, deter- Mined to destroy both these latter prizes. He. set fire to the Success, and she burned to the water's: edge. • The Fortune ,was scuttled and, sent adrift ; but having floated in toWards Vizagapatam, she has been hauled ashore and secured, .and will probably be refitted with little lox's. The commanders, offi cers, and crews of the l'ortune and Success, to the numbei of seventy people, were embarked in the long-boat of the Fortune. They made the best of their way for Vilagapatarn, where they lauded' 04 . the 31st last. It is now ascertained, from the date of thele captures, that the daring adventurer, who has thus insulted our coasts, •and carried off a num ber of our most valuable Ships, has continued very nearly on the same station, but a few leagues front the coast, and not more than three hundred melds from Madras, upwards of thirty, days.
